text: San Diego, CA<p>I work with a small team of freelancers that help me explore random fun things, mostly related to LLMs. I&#x27;m interested in hearing from anyone based in San Diego that is on HN and interested in freelance work. Send me an email clay@llm-utils.org with your linkedin and a link to 3 things you&#x27;ve built solo. And perhaps 1 or 2 interests of yours.<p>I don&#x27;t have a specific project, but I&#x27;m generally interested in meeting smart energetic people and hiring them for freelance projects. To give a sense of what that might look like, some things either me or the team and me have done in the past include:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gpus.llm-utils.org&#x2F;nvidia-h100-gpus-supply-and-demand&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gpus.llm-utils.org&#x2F;nvidia-h100-gpus-supply-and-deman...</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gpus.llm-utils.org&#x2F;the-gpu-song-gpus-are-fire&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gpus.llm-utils.org&#x2F;the-gpu-song-gpus-are-fire&#x2F;</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;openai-status.llm-utils.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;openai-status.llm-utils.org&#x2F;</a>

text: Princeton, NJ &#x2F; NYC Metro | Remote &#x2F; Hybrid OK*<p>Climate Central is a science and communications organization focused on climate change impacts and solutions. We&#x27;re looking for an experienced full-stack software developer to help us deliver a new version of Realtime Climate, a data-intensive communications tool, among other exciting initiatives. We primarily use Python and PostgreSQL in our backend, and run on AWS. JavaScript and web frontend experience is a definite plus, but the successful candidate will need to be particularly strong with data-oriented tools and infrastructure. The job description and requirements will be similar to this full-time employee position: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.climatecentral.org&#x2F;open-position-senior-full-stack-engineer" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.climatecentral.org&#x2F;open-position-senior-full-sta...</a>, but to be clear, we have need for an experienced contract freelancer apart from that position (which is currently not accepting new applications).<p>We&#x27;re a small, experienced team. We cultivate the best parts of a startup-like environment, while avoiding many of the downsides of a startup. We&#x27;re looking for new partners to level up with. Rate is negotiable and depends on qualifications. Though a non-profit org, we aim to be market competitive. We are looking for someone able to work 35+ hours per week.<p>*While fully remote work is an option, we are limiting our search by timezone, to ensure adequate working hours overlap. We&#x27;ll consider candidates located in timezones between UTC-8 and UTC+2 standard time. In other words, timezones between US Pacific Time and Eastern European Time.<p>If you are interested, please email jobs-at-climatecentral.org with EXACT subject line &quot;Senior Full Stack Engineer&quot;. Thank you for considering us.
